Lincoln Center Theater’s latest new play, The Coast Starlight, is a smart, funny, and compassionate play by Keith Bunin, directed by Tyne Rafaeli (LCT’s Epiphany, Power Strip).

In Keith Bunin’s new play, a young man armed with a secret that can land him in terrible trouble boards the Coast Starlight, the long-distance train that runs from Los Angeles to Seattle. With the help of his fellow travelers, all of whom are reckoning with their own choices, he has roughly one thousand miles to figure out a way forward. The Coast Starlight is a smart, funny, and compassionate story about our capacity for invention and re-invention when life goes off the rails.
